I'm always looking to bake something that the kids will eat too these days and banana muffins seem to always do the trick. I wanted something easy that I could throw together in the morning and have on hand for snack time. 

I seriously underestimated how much we would all love these as they were all gone a day after I made them. Oh well... guess I'll have to make another batch :). 

2 mashed bananas

1/2 c almond milk

2 1/2 tbsp melted coconut oil

1 large egg

3/4 tsp vanilla extract

2/3 c whole wheat flour

1/2 c quick-cooking oats

1/4 c granulated white sugar

1 3/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 c chopped nuts

some sugar for sprinkling on top

Preheat oven to 375°F.

In a medium bowl mix the bananas, milk, oil, egg and vanilla.

In a small bowl whisk flour and remaining ingredients.

Stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture until they are just combined. Add the nuts and fold in gently.

I made six regular sized muffins and eight mini muffins. Sprinkle the tops with some sugar for an extra delicious crunchy top.

Bake for 15 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.

Birdie could barely contain her excitement asking me every two minutes "are they ready???"
